Overview of Documentum Portlets

Documentum's Portlets allows Portal vendors to include a set of Portlets
developed by Documentum in their Portal offering. These Documentum Portlets
are built on the WDK 5 framework. WDK 5 is an extension to WDK 4.2 utilizing
WDK Forms technology. WDK Forms are designed to provide a web application
framework and library for the development of web-based UI components that
expose Documentum's functionality and services.

The Documentum Portlets provide a set of content management services
which meets the needs of a majority of users within an enterprise. These services
are packaged as a set of out-of-the-box Portlets (Java classes and JSP pages)
that can be configured and supported by Portal vendors. These Portlets expose
a different area of Documentum functionality with an easy-to-use interface
and a consistent UI.

The Documentum Portlets significantly reduce the need to create new
programming interfaces and integration code for enterprise Portal implementations.
Building on the enterprise content management strengths of Documentum 5i eBusiness
Platform, these services employ Portlets to create a fast and cost-effective
way to expose content management functionality through an enterprise Portal.
